Dazai's Cub Raising Journey in Another World

Holding the candlestick and carefully walking down the wooden steps for a while, the tactile sensation under my feet has changed.

Flat and thick.

is the ground.

After passing through a narrow corridor, a room of forty square meters unfolded in front of my eyes.

Except for a set of tables and chairs, the rest of the room is full of bookcases.However, what is placed on the shelf is not a book, but various materials bound into a book.

Dazai flipped through it casually, and there were some names and amounts written on it.

bribery?

I just don't know whose pocket the money ended up in.However, even if it was all taken away by his cheap father, he wouldn't be surprised at all.

Noticing that there was a safe in the cabinet behind the desk, he looked around, and then pulled out a thin, wire-like thing from the gap in the bookshelf.After bending the front end slightly, it fits into the keyhole.

"Click"

The safe was opened.

Fortunately, the technology is not unfamiliar.He nodded in satisfaction, and unceremoniously took out the contents inside.

It was a stack of handwritten materials, which seemed to be some kind of analysis report.

According to the above content, there are mainly three types of legions in this country, namely the garrison corps responsible for guarding the city walls, the gendarmerie corps responsible for maintaining order in the capital, and the survey corps responsible for investigations outside the wall.

Dazai recalled that the soldiers who met on the road today wearing uniforms with unicorns on their backs should belong to the Gendarmerie Regiment, while those near the city wall should belong to the Garrison Regiment. They also had patterns printed on their backs , is a rose.I want to investigate the unique badges on the military uniforms of the Corps.

After briefly introducing the responsibilities and personnel composition of each corps, the material used a lot of space to list their respective potential threats. Among them, the survey corps was the most intriguing, and the biggest threat listed was-the combat effectiveness of personnel, and the combat experience too rich.

In addition to this corps analysis report, there is another material, which is a proposal to reduce the funding for extraterrestrial investigations.

In order to prove the rationality of this proposal, a large number of data are listed in the article:

For example, [-]% of the personnel died in every investigation outside the wall.Because they sacrificed their lives for the country, the country had to pay a lot of money to protect the daily life of their families after these people died.

Every year, nearly 60 recruits join the Survey Corps, but [-]% die outside the wall without making any contribution.And all the expenses of all soldiers receiving various trainings in the training corps are also borne by the state.

The expenditure is so great, but the harvest is so little. Except that the weakness of the giant was discovered 63 years ago, that is, in 770, the investigation has been at a standstill, and there has been no more recent progress.

Since the expenses required for the investigation outside the wall have to be paid by taxes, the public has long been dissatisfied with this.No obvious results have been seen so far, and the backlog of negative emotions among the masses has reached its peak. If the suppression continues, it is likely to cause social unrest.

The conclusion is that extra-mural investigations are not worthy of further investment, and it is recommended to reduce related funds.

Although the content seems reasonable, if this is really done, human beings may always be trapped in this self-built cage.

I always feel that the future is worrying.

Returning everything to its original place, Dazai quietly returned to his room.

For the next few days, every time the sky darkened completely, he followed suit and sneaked into other people's homes in the city to look up information.

However, nothing else could be gained.

People seem to have discussed it, all the collections do not have any part about the previous history, and all the records are limited to what can be seen at present, and the others seem to have been erased out of thin air.

During this period, he also interrogated several believers, and even risked abducting a clergyman.Of course, he remembered to dress up.

Unexpectedly, those seemingly weak people are so spineless, they would rather die than tell the secret of the wall.

However, it is reflected from the side that there is indeed a problem with the wall, and it is a very serious problem that must not be known to the public.

There were still no surprises in this night's investigation.

Seeing that the sky was getting lighter, Dazai hurried back.

When passing a house, he couldn't help but stop.

Because, he saw a military uniform hanging in the room.

The dress was facing away from the window, and it was embroidered with a pattern of overlapping wings that I had never seen before.

Contacting the analysis report he had read before, Dazai was sure that this was the military uniform of the Survey Corps.

Since the investigation outside the wall has been carried out for a long time, there must be more information.

He observed for a while, and after confirming that it was safe, he quickly dived in.

Sure enough, although the information was placed in a relatively hidden way, the content on it was quite worth the effort.

Because it's all investigative intelligence about giants.

Flipping through a few pages in a hurry, the content was very informative, but because he felt that someone was approaching, in order not to be bumped into, he had no choice but to put the things back with a bit of regret.

Come again tonight.He decided so happily.

When I sneaked into that house again, I saw the information on the table.

Dazai took all this into his eyes, but his movements didn't stop at all.He went straight to the desk as if he had entered his own home, and sat there carelessly, carefully flipping through the pages.

The report was written in great detail, not only describing the giant's physical characteristics, dietary characteristics and amazing resilience, but also including some conjectures based on experiments.

The only regret is that since there is no legend, all the content can only be imagined out of thin air.

Even though humans are hiding inside the city walls, they don't eat anything except humans, as if they exist to kill humans on purpose.

And what's even more strange is that even if you eat people, you can't digest them, and you will spit them out intact when you are full.Isn't this equivalent to not taking in any energy at all.

However, is such an existence still a living thing?

Moreover, why only the back of the neck is the key?

As he finished reading the last page, the lights in the room came on.

"It's surprising that the son of a conservative senator's family is interested in giants." An old man with a bald head and a beard on his upper lip said with a smile.

As if not aware of the other party's sharp gaze that was almost like a knife blade, Dazai naturally put the stack of documents back on the table, smiled and looked at the man who was somewhat similar to the chief farming officer in front of him: "The son inherits the father's business. It's not necessary, is it?"

"That's right. However, thanks to your father, not only the heads of the various corps, but even the President are very busy these days."

"How can there be room for a child to intervene in an adult's business?" Dazai said innocently, "Speaking of which, you belong to the Survey Corps?"

"No, I am stationed in the Corps. Those materials are borrowed to understand the situation." Fang Gen explained happily.

"That's it, what a pity. I still have a lot to ask."

"Why, are you interested in things outside?"

"No no no, you misunderstood."

Dazai quickly waved his hand: "I just want to see the legendary monster with my own eyes. I have no interest in going to the gendarmerie's dungeon as a guest."

From the previous interrogation, he knew that this was an era when interest in the world beyond the walls was considered taboo.If you are not careful, you will be targeted by the Gendarmerie Corps as an object that must be strictly monitored, and you may even lose your life because of it.

However, deliberately leading the topic to this, it seems that the other party doesn't seem to welcome me very much.

"Oh?" The old man looked at Dazai with great interest, "Then, I recommend you to go to Higanshina District."

Higanshina District is a town located at the southernmost end of the Maria Wall and protruding outward.

"Is that the town that was used as bait?"

"That's right. Although there are certain risks in living there, the treatment is quite generous. What's more, it has been quite peaceful for decades, so many people have moved in on their own initiative."

"If I remember correctly, it was invaded by giants more than 60 years ago, right?" Dazai looked at the other party with a smile.

"It seems that you have a deep understanding. Are you interested in joining the Corps?"

"Forget it." He changed the subject decisively, "By the way, is there really no one outside the wall except giants?"

After thinking for a while, the other party replied: "I haven't received relevant information for the time being. However, some time ago, the head of the investigation corps seemed to bring a person back from outside."

"Are you sure it's human?" Dazai suddenly became interested.

"Yes."

"About the outside, what did the man say?"

"I heard it was amnesia."

"Amnesia, then there's nothing I can do about it." He leaned on the back of the chair with a disgusted expression while propping up the table.

"However, that man's medical skills are quite good. Not long after he arrived in Shiganshina District, an epidemic broke out in the city. He found the antibody and saved most of the residents."

"So it's a doctor~"

Thanks to someone, when it comes to doctors, his thoughts can't help but run in the direction of conspiracy theories.

It was a good conversation, because I got a lot of information from it.

It would be better if the other party didn't want to dig a hole for himself from time to time.

It was also from the other party's mouth that Dazai learned about the reason why black-haired people seem to be few.

"You mean Orientals? People of that race are very rare. If they don't have power, they will become collectors items for the powerful."

"In addition, the Ackerman family also has an oriental appearance. However, due to the banning of the royal family, no one dared to reach out to that family. Now the Ackerman family should have disappeared long ago."

"The reason for the ban? I don't know, I only know that it was an order from the royal family."

The Ackerman family...

Thinking of the pair of mother and child, I always feel a little concerned.So after the conversation, he went back to search for some valuables, and then went to the underground shopping mall.

But I didn't expect that I was left alone...

When I saw it again, the woman had already lost her human form.

After seeing herself, there was a little light in her lifeless eyes.

"Please, please help me take care of Levi. As long as he can live, it's fine." After sending the boy away, the woman tightly clutched the corner of her clothes with her thin hands and pleaded.

"Ma'am, I think you must have misunderstood something. I am not a philanthropist, so I have no obligation to help you take care of your children." Dazai said indifferently with his hands in his pockets.

After all, once this request is accepted, the child's future will be on his back.

Not to mention when I left this world, even if I have been trapped here, I have no reason to take care of the other party.

Because of her own words, the woman was a little slumped, but she still kept holding the corner of her clothes tightly.

Maybe she knew in her heart that once she let go, it would be even more impossible.

After a moment of silence, she spoke with some difficulty: "My name is Kusher, Kusher Ackerman..."

really.Dazai understood.

Seeing the appearance she already knew, she continued with determination: "You know what this surname means. When I was still around, I could still protect that child a little bit, and I'm not living long now. When I'm not around Yes, Levy is likely to..."

"Sir, I don't want to force you, but I really have no other way. I beg you, for the sake of showing you the way, at least give him a way out, even if he can only live to adulthood, I I am also satisfied. Sir..."

Dazai silently listened to the begging.

When interrogating prisoners, he often heard various begging for mercy.

However, those people begged for mercy so that they could live, but this mother begged a stranger who had only met twice for her child to live. For this reason, she even did not hesitate to hide herself for a long time. The biggest secret is exposed to each other.

Thinking of this, his mood was a little complicated.

If my own mother...

"Do you know why your family was hunted down?" he heard himself ask.

The woman froze for a while.She tried to think about it, and shook her head guiltily: "I don't know, really. I just heard from people in the clan that the royal family seems to be afraid of something, so..."

"I understand." After a pause, he continued, "I can't stay here for long, so I can't take care of him for you. But..."

The woman's originally dejected expression suddenly became a little hopeful again.

"However, I will teach him how to survive."

"That's enough, that's enough...Sir, I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you, thank you so much..." The woman's voice trembled slightly, and big tears kept flowing poured out.

"So, the kid's name is Levi?"

"No, it's Levi Ackerman." The woman choked up but answered clearly.

Perhaps the wish was fulfilled, and the woman who had no worries at all smiled and fell asleep, and fell asleep forever.

After burying her in a remote open space in the underground street and erecting a memorial monument, he planned to take the child named Levi to the Higanshina district.

He had originally planned to go there.When I just bought the stele, I happened to know from an information dealer that there are orphanages in many towns, especially the Shiganshina District. Not only did they grow up in a very good environment, they were never harsh on food, clothing, and housing, and they also had orphanages who took on the role of parents. people.

If the child is sent there, even if he goes back one day, he will be able to survive well.Although this world is likely to disappear the moment he returns, he is still willing to do things that can lighten his burden.

Therefore, after hearing that a businessman was going to do business in Shiganshina District, he immediately made an appointment with the other party and paid a part of the deposit.

It's just that, looking at the child's lifeless appearance as usual, and thinking of the mother, Dazai felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

He stopped, bent down, looked into each other's eyes with a smile, and said softly, "Mr. Levi, please take off your clothes."

"Attention, take them all off." He added.In the eyes, there is almost substantial malice.
